Song of the day #4 Golden Brown by The Stranglers

not going to go in deep with this, i just find this song beautiful

I listen to it on repeat and sometimes fall asleep to it. It’s truly a beautiful song and one of my favorite songs of all time.

Hope yall have a good day

Song of the day #3 - Once in a Lifetime by The Talking Heads

The Version I have linked is the live version from “Stop Making Sense”. I just personally find the live version a lot better. The choreography is amazing and I just love everything about Stop Making Sense (its the best)

This song is about time. Being afraid of not doing what you want and living the same dull life forever. Following the same routine that most people experience, getting a house, getting married, having a family, but how did you get here? Do you deserve to have this? Did you work hard for it?

Asking. What would you do, with your once in a lifetime opportunity?

The verses are structured and spoken as if David Byrne, the lead vocalist, is giving a sermon.

“You may find yourself

Living in a shotgun shack

And you may find yourself

In another part of the world

And you may find yourself

Behind the wheel of a large automobile

And you may find yourself in a beautiful house

With a beautiful wife

And you may ask yourself

"Well ... how did I get here?"

Maybe you worked hard to get this house, to get this wife, to get this car, but how did it happen? Did you deserve it? How did it happen so fast?

“Letting the days go by

Let the water hold me down

Letting the days go by

Water flowing underground

Into the blue again

After the money's gone

Once in a lifetime

Water flowing underground”

Water is symbolic of life, letting it go by. Trying to catch the American dream. letting the days go by while the water holds yourself down, a dream that you may spend forever searching for instead of living. “Into the blue again after the money’s gone” is the dream fading away once all has been spent.

You almost feel like you’re being drowned by day to day life, letting “the water hold me down” insinuates he isn’t struggling, but allowing yourself to be held down.

“Same is it ever was”

This is repeated multiple times over. You have all this stuff but where has all this hard work taken you? What have you accomplished, and when will the American Dream happen and lift you off your feet to success and fame and fortune? Same as it ever was…

Sorry for the massively love post, i just love this song sm. Its just great overall. Even without understanding the deeper meaning behind it, you can still enjoy it as a fun, catchy song. I’ve recently been getting more into The Talking Heads recently. I’ve always loved them but only recently gotten deep into trenches of them. Anyways, I hope y’all enjoy!!

Song of the day #2 Time To Pretend-MGMT

Time To Pretend is my personal favorite of MGMT's songs.

This song is mainly about imagining life as famous rockstars.

"I'm feelin' rough, I'm feelin' raw, I'm in the prime of my life Let's make some music, make some money, find some models for wives I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin and fuck with the stars"

These lyrics are talking about the 'ideal' life, make some music, get rich, get married to a model. Talking about how rockstars get super rich, go to parties, and do a lot of drugs

"This is our decision, to live fast and die young We've got the vision, now let's have some fun Yeah, it's overwhelming, but what else can we do? Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?"

They start talking about how they'd rather have the fast paced lifestyle than living a boring life and having to go to a 9-5 job.

"I'll miss the playgrounds and the animals and diggin' up worms I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world I'll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home Yeah, I'll miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone"

Reminiscing over the simpler times of life. Being young and innocent with no worries. Missing your family as now you've moved away, never talking to them much anymore.

"We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the end We were fated to pretend To pretend"

I don't go too in depth with this song as I did with yesterday's but I hope you all enjoy this one. I love this song a lot and hope you all do too <3

First ever song of the day!!!

This is a personal favorite of mine, and my favorite RATM song.

The main idea of this song is to "Take The Power Back" from the government, and return it to the people. People should do this from self education, learning the lies and flaws that have been told over and over by those who are trying to feed off our weakness.

"The present curriculum, I put my fist in 'em Eurocentric, every last one of 'em See right through the red, white, and blue disguise With lecture I puncture the structure of lies"

This verse is stating how American history is taught from a Eurocentric viewpoint. How we're told what they want us to hear.

"The teacher stands in front of the class But the lesson plan he can't recall The student's eyes don't perceive the lies Bouncing off every fucking wall His composure is well kept I guess he fears playing the fool The complacent students sit And listen to that bullshit that he'd learned in school"

Zack de la Rocha brings up how the education system is made to learn what the government wants you to learn. Doubled by the fact the teacher learned these things in school, and repeats the cycle of teaching it to a new class.

This song speaks out heavily against the government and its flaws in modern society. I hope y'all enjoy this one as much as i do!
